Toothbrush Tip
Place the toothbrush tip in mouth with
the brush head on the tooth at the
gumline. The toothbrush tip can be
used with or without toothpaste. Turn the Water Flosser on so the water flows
through the tip. Using a
light pressure
(bristles should not bend) massage
the brush back and forth with very short strokes-much like you would with a
manual toothbrush.

Cleaning
Never immerse unit in water. Before cleaning, unplug from the electrical
outlet. Clean the product when necessary by using a soft cloth and mild
non-abrasive cleanser to wipe exterior.
The water reservoir is removable for easy cleaning and is top rack
dishwasher safe. It is recommended that the reservoir is removed and
cleaned weekly.
Removing Hard Water Deposits/
General Cleaning
Hard water deposits may build up in your unit, depending on the mineral
content of your water. If left unattended, it can hinder performance.
Cleaning internal parts: add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to a full
reservoir of warm water. Point the handle and tip into sink. Turn unit ON
and run until reservoir is empty. Rinse by repeating with a full reservoir
of clean warm water.
This process should be done every 1 to 3 months to ensure optimal
performance.
